Well, ok, that’s not entirely true, I can see how in GIMP:
The colors are basically exactly in between white/gold and blue/black respectively.
And I can see a very, very faint blue tint on the white, just as it “should be”, according to GIMP. But it doesn’t click to another color entirely for me, especially not pitch black and dark blue.
It doesn’t look like dark blue. Which is interesting-- the color it appears to be is about as far from dark blue as it is from white. But, correcting for the harsh glare, it’s blue (as we now know it really is).
What’s that to you:

blue and black. Don’t see how it could be white 🤷♀️
And I don’t see how it could be blue and black…

Oh, I assumed dark blue and pitch black because of the image in the post.
And it’s debatable wherever that can be considered blue or gold. Both are objectively very faint/light, apparently.
The image on the right is a recreation of what it would have looked like if the lighting wasn’t the way it was.
Here’s an actual image of the real colors.
What I mean is, the physical dress is blue+black
It’s blue and black
